Md Mahir Asef Kabir updated NUTCH-2786:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
* *Vulnerability Description:* In 
“src/plugin/protocol-httpclient/src/java/org/apache/nutch/protocol/httpclient/DummyX509TrustManager.java”
 overridden TrustManager methods (i.e. checkClientTrusted and 
checkServerTrusted) do not have validation logic for certificates.


 * *Reason it’s vulnerable:* It is vulnerable because DummyX509TrustManager 
implements X509TrustManager and it overrides the standard TrustManager methods 
(i.e. checkClientTrusted and checkServerTrusted) to do nothing but returning 
hard-coded *true*. Certificate validation is expected to be handled by these 
methods. Doing nothing means no verification.

 * *Suggested Fix:* Adding necessary certificate verification logic in the 
overridden methods. This is an example code showing a format that can be used 
and modified appropriately to implement the certificate validation logic - 
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jWtH2yTNR8/ .

 * *Feedback:* Please select any of the options down below to help us get an 
idea about how you felt about the suggestion -

 # Liked it and will make the suggested changes
 # Liked it but happy with the existing version
 # Didn’t find the suggestion helpful
